Beneath the Rhythm and Sound by The Ocean Blue
Beneath the Rhythm and Sound is an album by The Ocean Blue, released in 1992. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 18 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sublime”, on 11 lists with a best position of #40.
Beneath the Rhythm and Sound, from the Ocean Blue on Sire, is dreamy, shimmering indie pop from a band that formed back in 1986 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. David Schelzel sings and plays guitar, Steve Lau adds keyboards and saxophone, Bobby Mittan plays bass and Rob Minnig drums.
It's gentle and glowing stuff, chiming guitars and soft-focus melodies with a British lilt, the sort of record that sounds best on a grey afternoon. "Sublime", the first single, is the gem, and it rose to number 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, with "Emotions Ring" as a moodier companion. The band took the album on the road with Suddenly, Tammy!
